Chapter 38
But he had only taken two steps when he saw a look of panic flash across the girl's face. She then turned and ran away as if she were hiding from some kind of flood or ferocious beast.
Shen Rang couldn't help but wonder.
Last night, this girl had the audacity to ask me why I knew her father, but today she ran away as soon as she saw him?
“Your Highness,” Jingyuan’s voice rang out, “that maid from the Madam’s courtyard has come again.”
After learning that Yunxi was having a hard time at Liuyun Garden, Jingyuan lost his initial goodwill towards Yunwan.
After all, everyone has likes and dislikes, and that's unavoidable.
Shen Rang turned his head and, sure enough, saw a furtive figure.
It seems that the girl isn't afraid of him, but rather this person.
Did this person also bully her?
Jade bent over, pretending to look for something, but her eyes kept glancing at Chen Rang.
Sensing Shen Rang's displeasure, Jing Yuan coughed and said, "Your Highness, I will go and send her away immediately."
"No need, I've already given them a chance."
His voice was as cold as if it had been chilled to the bone.
"......yes."
Jing Yuan turned around, called over several guards, and had them take Fei Cui down. Before Fei Cui could even cry out, he had her mouth gagged, and then personally took her to Steward Wang's office.
Spying on one's master's whereabouts is no small matter; if this happens again, one will definitely be in for a good scolding.
Meanwhile, Shen Rang returned to Liuyun Garden.
As soon as Yun Wan saw him return, she hurriedly came to greet him. However, before she could get close, she heard Shen Rang say, "Madam's maid has lost something again. This forgetful habit is not good. I have already asked Jing Yuan to take her to Steward Wang."
"Manager Wang is best at correcting people's bad habits. I'm sure it won't take more than three to five days for that maid to know where her things should be."
His voice was indifferent and devoid of any emotion.
Yun Wan was startled: "Husband, although my maid was a little reckless, it's not a big deal. Please, husband, be merciful and let her off the hook!"
"This is merely to save face for you, Madam. Don't you understand?"
His words were tantamount to tearing away the fig leaf of decency, leaving Yun Wan stunned on the spot.
"If Madam is still worried, it would be better if she went to Steward Wang's place herself."
Yun Wan gritted her teeth.
Jade is in charge of the accounts for her; she must be saved.
"Then wait for me, my husband, I'll be back soon."
As the footsteps behind him faded into the distance, Shen Rang turned and went through the side gate to the backyard.
At that moment, Yunxi and Jixiang were squatting in the backyard tending to the flowers and plants. When they saw him coming, they quickly stood up and asked, "Young Master?"
Shen Rang handed the food box forward, saying, "It's for you."
"Give me?"
Yunxi took the food box in a daze, and was about to say something when she saw that Shen Rang had already turned and left.
She had no choice but to take the food box back to the back room. As soon as she opened the lid, a fragrance of milk mixed with the rich aroma of lychee wafted out.
"Wow—" Jixiang's eyes lit up, "Lychee cake mountain! This is so expensive!"
Crispy mountains are not uncommon, but lychees are truly precious and rare; most people can only dream of eating them.
"But...why would the young master suddenly send you such a valuable gift?"
Yunxi had completely relaxed, a cold smile playing on her lips.
